Important information Regarding the JV Program

Every season the DHSHA receives questions about its JV program and if 8^th graders will be allowed to play.  This upcoming 2008-2009 season we have the potential for an even larger number of players to be available for our selection process. To help individuals weigh their options, it is important to understand how JV teams will be selected for the 2008-2009 JV teams.   

• Teams will be selected in early November as USA Hockey teams and play in the CHC league

• Players will be evaluated for their skating and playing abilities

• If there are more players than available roster spots, and all other things being equal, additional criteria will be used to finalize a roster.  Those criteria include:

  • Players will be expected to make a full time playing commitment to their DHSHA team

  • Students that are enrolled and attending a Dublin public school will have priority for roster spots

  • High school players will have priority for roster spots over 8^th graders

Over the summer the DHSHA will be hosting a number of skating opportunities for players to continue to develop their skating and playing skills.  Those dates will be posted on our web site soon. These sessions are not mandatory, but players are encouraged to attend.
